Binance Launches Phased PublicAI Airdrop with 240-Point Threshold

Binance has initiated a phased airdrop for the PublicAI (PUBLIC) token on its Binance Alpha platform, with the first round requiring users to accumulate at least 240 Alpha points to qualify. The airdrop commenced on August 15, 2025, at 15:00 UTC+8, and will distribute tokens in two distinct phases. The first phase lasts for 18 hours, allowing users who meet or exceed the 240-point threshold to claim their allocation. The second phase follows, lasting six hours, and opens the airdrop to users with at least 200 points, with the threshold decreasing by 15 points per hour if the airdrop remains active [1].

Points are earned through interactive and educational activities on the PublicAI platform, including quizzes, challenges, and content creation. This mechanism is designed to ensure meaningful engagement and promote a community-driven distribution model. The 240-point threshold is a deliberate strategy to exclude inactive or automated accounts, prioritizing genuine user participation and fostering a more engaged user base [1].

The collaboration between Binance Alpha and PublicAI marks a significant development in the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. As Binance Alpha’s first featured token, PUBLIC is expected to serve as a utility token within the PublicAI ecosystem, offering access to AI tools and governance rights. This move aligns with Binance’s broader strategy to support innovative projects and expand its portfolio of emerging digital assets [1].

The launch has generated considerable attention within the crypto community. Analysts note that the airdrop structure reflects a long-term vision for the token’s utility, although no official price projections have been announced. The success of the PUBLIC token will likely depend on post-airdrop user retention and continued platform usage. The structured airdrop approach also highlights Binance Alpha’s role as a testing ground for new projects and its commitment to cultivating early-stage innovation [1].

PublicAI’s inclusion on Binance Alpha underscores the exchange’s focus on integrating advanced technologies with blockchain infrastructure. By offering access to projects with strong technical and community foundations, Binance aims to maintain its leadership position in the evolving digital asset ecosystem [1].
